from moving household goods into
the yartL

where the tire department was call
ed the madam was preparing the
evening meal and had put the soup-
bone in a kettle to boll and then left
the house for a few minutes. Upon
returning to the hcfuse, she noticed
an offensive odor, also the smell of
tire, and immediately called for
some one to ring for the firemen.
The chief made a thorough inves-
tigation and found nothing except
the remains of a shank of beef,
commonly called a soup-bone. Af-
ter opening all the windows to al-
low the smoke to escape, the chief
and his braves returned to the fire
house.

STAGE CALLS
MRS. CIIDINY
MANAGERS MARCE HER FLAT*
TERING OFfERS TO GO ON
THE STAGE
Kansas city. Mar. 10.—Although
she has had theatrical offers show-
ered upon her by the score, Mrs.
"Jack" Cudahy is not going upon
the stage. One offer, which she re-
fused this morning, was from James
T- Powers, wno was at the Blnrhert
several weeks ago in "Havana.
Mr. Powers wirea Mrs. Cudahy tnls
morning to name ner own terms for
a place in the "Hello, People,'
chorus.
"Now, wouldn't I look pretty, say-
ing, 'Hello, People! People,
Hellot and giving my hand s silly
wave?" Mrs. Cudahy said this morn-
ing. And she laughed heartily
when asked if she were going to ac-
cept the oiler from the "Havana
company.
'"Really, though, she added, "ii
It were not for my children 1 woulu
go on the stage. But not in lo#
musical comedy or anythfng like
that. The stage nas always ap-
pealed to me. Mot the glamour oi
the footlights or hte plaudits of the
audience, out tne life and the peo-
ple. I'm no silly stage struck gin.
l have been around enough to see
some gf the hardships and annoyan-
ces actresses have to endure. But
it's the kina of people you find on
the stage, the true blue, good fel-
lowship you find among the mem-
Ders of the profession that appeals
to me.
"The poepie of the stage are not
like the idle rich, thinking of noth-
ing but money and good clothes.
They are brainy—the good actresses
are. They think, they study, they
read, they sre artistic. It is an in-
tellectual world they live in. Their
world contains something more than
idle gossip and good clothes. Some
of the most wnoie souled friends i
nave had in my life were actresses,
ihey would share their last cent
with you if you needed it.
'dut much as such an artistic
life appeals to me, i will not go
on the stage. My duty Is with my
children, i must live for them. Why
the offer from the 'Havtua' com-
pany is Oniy one of a doaen offers
i have had in the last two days."
\ She took from a table telegrams
•-nd letters.
"Oh, the utter foolishness of most
of these, she said. One man back
^li New Vork wants me to go In
101 vaudeville, lie says he will give
11,000 a week and i would need no
preliminary training. Another man-
ager aays he baa a part just fitted
for me, that i could learn my lines
and begin to star In a few days. As
if I would do such a' thing.
"If I were to go on the stage, it
would only bo In heavy drama, some,
thing that was really wotrh while. It
seems like every vaudeville manager
In the country has made me a tar-
get for a telegram. 1 have had of.
fers from naif a doaen large cities.
But I win accept pone ot them, not
one. I must devote ay life to my
children."

, llusfogee. Ok., Mar. 10.—Some*
where Juilna Weeks, prominent cit-
izen, oil man, one time wealthy and
a beau brummel of society, is said
to be hiding with $Tff0 of sorrowed
money and his wife and most Inti-
mate friends have no idea where he
ran be found.
It was more than two weeks ago
that he asked a prominent well
known county official to indorse his
note for *200 and soon after left
Muskogee on the Katy Flyer. He nas
iot been heard from since.
Clouds of mystery nave complete-
ly enveloped him and he has van-
ished as if snatched from the face
of the earth. At his home on the
corner of Twelfth and Emporia
streets, last night, his wife said she
had not heard where he had gone.
Mr. Weeks is missing and many
bualness men In the city are moving
neaven and earth in their frantic
endeavor to had kim. Scandal has
already spread concerning his ac-
counta.
Some t<me ago Mr. Weeks' hand-
some resiaence was offered for sale
at a stunning figure. A little later
bis splendid team of horses, said to
be the fanciest and most atyllah In
the southwest, were upon tne mar-
ket. Knowing tongues in society
began to wag.
When Air. Weeks left town two
weeks ago he said that his mother
was dying in Syracuse. New York
and he asked his friend, 'the coun-
ty official, for the two hundred doi-
inra. Mrs. Weeks Is dangerously ill
in the New York city and is not
expected to live throughout the week
out all efforts to hno J. 8. Weeks in
Syracuse have dismally failed.
Yesterday the Commercial Na-
tional bank attached his home and
all of his property in sight as pro-
tectfon tor n debt he owes the bnnk.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Weeks
h's wife, employed J. E. Wyand to
protect her interesta.
"Wine, women and song" are giv-
en as the reason for Mr. Weeks' dis-
appearance by hfs wife's attorney.
Three gay years of a life of roses
are said to have depleted his Inaa*
cos until the 9 >00 whs necessary.
According to his friends, It was
about three years ago that he sold
his Interests In the east for $76,-
000. Where the money went no one
hut Mr. Wools can say.
It was about three years ago that
• 'r. Weeks blossomed forth In ail
he glory of a millionaire. He and
his team of horns were seen ev-
erywhere, and the reckless abandon
with which he spent his m«isy was
the talk of the town. His home on
Twelfth street while not palatial, to
classed among the hoot homes of the
elty.
